Short Eared Owl and Caspian Gull

Short eared Owl hunting at Calderdale Wetlands plus plenty of Pochard and displaying Goldeneye followed by great gull roost at Anglers CP. Up to 5 Caspian Gulls including a stunning ringed first winter bird that came close. Also seen were a second winter  Iceland gull and a juvenile Glaucous gull. 


















Post script. Further input from experienced gullers now saying the above gull is a hybrid Herring/Caspian from Lithuania. That's gulls for you!
